Serbs are among the five most frequently deported peoples from Germany, and the number of expelled people could increase further. The new government is announcing even tougher measures
During 2024 from Germany je deported 20.100 people, and in the first three months of this year, 6.151 people. These are the data from the response of the German Federal Government on May 20 to the question posed by the opposition Left Party in the Bundestag.
In the first quarter of this year, most people (502) were deported to Turkey. It is followed by Georgia (454), France (333), Spain (325) and Serbia (291). Deutsche Welle (DW).
There were 1.715 deportations, under the so-called "Dublin Regulation". This means that people are deported to other countries of the European Union that are responsible for the asylum procedure according to the Dublin Regulation.
A little more than a third of the deportations have been carried out expensive charter flights. Collective deportations to Pakistan were particularly costly and time-consuming. The costs amounted to 462.000 euros. The price of flights for deportation to Ethiopia was 418.000 euros, and flights to Nigeria, Ghana and Cameroon 380.000 euros. However, the costs for many of those flights were borne by the EU's border protection agency, Frontex.
There will be more deportations.
Repatriations from January to March were still the responsibility of the previous German government. The Christian Democratic parties CDU and CSU, which together with the Social Democrats (SPD) make up the new cabinet in Berlin, have announced that the current government will increase the number of repatriations even more.
At the same time, the representative of the Left, Klara Binger, criticizes such actions of the authorities:
"I know of several deportations where the police acted brutally and without any empathy. We're talking about families being separated in cold blood or sick people being literally kidnapped from a hospital and put on a deportation flight," Binger said.
"The principle, it seems, is that you can do almost anything with people who are obliged to leave the country," said the politician of the opposition Left.

Aleksandar Vučić now has only the old, proven methods of classic dictatorships left, because these modern methods of insanity and poisoning the public are failing. And that, however, goes against his head
Vučić is not defending the state, but himself from the state. With a drum on his back and a guitar in his hands, this man-orchestra performs two or three of the same songs without hearing, with falsifications and falling out of rhythm. His government and politics are like that. In short - dangerous for the environment
Arrests of professors, punishment of people, firing of journalists... The regime of Aleksandar Vučić is shining and is yet to shine. It is the decadent phase of the regime, the one towards the end
